The European Union's External Action Service receives the MSP to discuss the Sahara
A delegation of the Movement Saharawi for Peace (MSP) composed of its first secretary, Hach Ahmed Bericalla, and the person in charge of international relations, Mohammed Cherif, was received in Brussels by senior officials of the External Action Service of the European Union at its headquarters in Brussels.
Talks on the Sahara
The talks between the two parties centred on the situation in Western Sahara, the present state of the UN peace process and the settlement proposal of the MSP.
Those responsible for the Movement insisted on the need for the European Union and its External Service to encourage Staffan de Mistura, special envoy of the UN Secretary General for Western Sahara, to overcome the present obstacles and to bring everyone to the round table in Geneva.
In this respect, the MSP recalled that its proposal for a solution, presented at the Dakar Conference last October, is the most suitable compromise formula for progress towards an honourable solution and the one which gives hope to the Saharawis after half a century of exile, war and suffering.
The MSP officials stressed that the priority now is to break the deadlock and avoid a new failure of the UN mediators. In this regard, they expressed their willingness to work with Staffan de Mistura to move towards an agreement.
During their stay in Brussels, the delegation met with several MEPs with whom they also discussed the situation in the Sahara and the proposed solution presented by the MSP in Dakar.
